CastClassException ( boolean to ZoomStyle )

Question

I had a CastClassException when trying to launch a VideoRecorderActivity. Here is how I'm doing so :

mTempVideoFile = new File(getContext().getFilesDir(), DateTime.now().getMillis()+"videoAndroid.mp4");

Intent takeVideoIntent=new VideoRecorderActivity.IntentBuilder(getContext())
            .quality(VideoRecorderActivity.Quality.LOW)
            .durationLimit(60000)
            .to(mTempVideoFile)
            .debug()
            .build();

startActivityForResult(takeVideoIntent, ACTION_TAKE_VIDEO);

the stacktrace :

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.m360learning.android/com.commonsware.cwac.cam2.VideoRecorderActivity}: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Boolean cannot be cast to com.commonsware.cwac.cam2.ZoomStyle

Also I skipConfirm() is in the documentation but is not recognized in my code which make me think maybe I have the wrong version of the library.

I took from this maven repo "https://s3.amazonaws.com/repo.commonsware.com", this version 'com.commonsware.cwac:cam2:0.5.+'

Thanks !

Yup, that's a bug. I'll fix that shortly.

No, that's a documentation bug, as there is only a confirmation screen on still pictures, not videos.

Okay, I'll wait for the update. Please notify me here when It's corrected. I looked at the code, it seems that the error comes from the line 130 of ```CameraFragment```, I think you should just remove this line and it should work fine, or replacing it with ```args.putSerializable("zoomStyle", ZoomStyle.NONE);``` to be more explicit – Renaud Favier Feb 23 '16 at 17:58
@RenaudFavier: Correct, the line needed to be removed. Originally, I had it as a boolean, then switch to the `ZoomStyle` enum. However, I failed to check the video-recording path, and therefore didn't catch that I still had it as a `boolean` there. v0.5.1 is released with this fix. However, Gradle has a tendency to only check for wildcard version updates once a day. You may need to update your dependency to be specifically on `0.5.1` instead of `0.5.+` to pull down the updated artifact. – CommonsWare Feb 23 '16 at 18:02
